Here’s what’s known about the Amstel Gold Race 2026 route (kaart) and latest news up to now.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for April 19, 2026, with Maastricht as the start and Berg en Terblijt as the finish, covering about 257.2 km. This aligns with recent years’ format, featuring multiple climbs including the Cauberg finish loop in the final stretch [Cycling News article on Amstel Gold Race 2026; Velowire summaries].[3][4]
The route retains the three-part finish concept (blue, red, gold segments) and typically includes several Limburg climbs such as Gulperberg, Kruisberg, Eyserbosweg, and Fromberg, finishing near the Cauberg area in Valkenburg or adjacent finish zones depending on the exact year’s organization. Sources note the Cauberg remains a central feature, with the finish timing and positions adjusted but keeping the classic Ardennes-style finale in the Limburg hills [Velowire articles; The 2026 route overview on Velowire; Cycling News page].[1][2][3]
Several outlets provide maps and downloadable formats (OpenStreetMap/Google Earth) for the 2026 parcours, offering a visual kaart along with profiles and timing across towns along the route. If you’re after a ready-to-use kaart, these maps are commonly shared by race-focused outlets around mid-April 2026, and some pages even offer download links for the GPX/KML files [Velowire English and Dutch pages].[2][1]
Quick reference for planning viewing or following live: start at 11:10 CET in Maastricht, finish around 17:12 CET, with the race distance listed as 257.2 km in some summaries. Exact finish times can vary slightly by year and conditions; check the official race site or CyclingNews for the day’s live results [Cycling News race page; CyclingNews 2026 edition entry].[4][3]
Illustration (how to find a kaart quickly):
Would you like me to pull the most up-to-date kaart links from specific sources (e.g., Velowire, CyclingNews) and provide direct (clickable) maps and GPX download options for Prague travel planning? I can also summarize the climb sequence and provide a compact printable route sheet.
